Find the value of x:$\frac{3}{x} = \frac{-5}{-8}$.

Given :

The given expression is $\frac{3}{x}  = \frac{-5}{-8}$.

To do :

We have to find the value of x.

Solution :

$\frac{3}{x}  = \frac{-5}{-8}$

We know that,

$\frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}$

So, $\frac{3}{x}  = \frac{5}{8}$

$x = \frac{3 \times 8}{5}$

$x = \frac{24}{5}=4.8$

Therefore, the value of x is 4.8.
